MIAMI, October 26
Federal authorities arrested a man in Florida on Friday in connection with at least a dozen parcel bombs sent to high-profile critics of US President Donald Trump, officials said, days ahead of congressional elections.
The man was taken into custody in the Miami area, a US law enforcement official said. Local television news stations showed investigators covering a white van with a blue tarp at an AutoZone parking lot in Plantation, near Fort Lauderdale. The van’s windows were filled with decals and stickers.
Citing an unnamed source, a cable network said the suspect was a man in his 50s. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. A witness told Reuters he heard a loud blast at the time of the arrest. No one had claimed responsibility for parcel bombs, which were denounced by authorities as terrorism. — Reuters
